    He must not know that General Abrams is no longer
    living.

    Not the one you’re thinking of, no, but Abrams was notable in that all of his children either became Army generals or married Army generals. His namesake eldest son is a retired brigadier general who’s the executive director of the Army Historical Foundation which is in charge of all of this.

    Llewellenbruce, you are thinking of Creighton Abrams, Jr.

    http://www.search.com/reference/Creighton_Abrams

    Abrams married Julia Bertha Abrams (1915 - 2003) in 1936. She founded the “Arlington Ladies” and devoted a great deal of her time to humanitarian causes. They had three daughters and three sons. The sons all became Army officers, and all of the daughters married Army officers.

    Survivors include three sons, retired Army Brigadier Gen. Creighton Williams Abrams III of Springfield, retired Army General John Nelson Abrams of Annandale and Army Colonel (Brigadier General selectee) Robert Bruce Abrams of Texas; three daughters, Noel Bradley of Buffalo, Jeanne Daly of Annandale and Elizabeth Doyle of Nashville; 19 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

    That’s what they must mean by a topic of general discussion.

    Is it just me, or does Skeezix bear a slight resemblence to Slim in the third panel?

    When the Grandfather of Creighton Abrams III died, the III was changed to Jr.

    There’s a little Slim in all of us.

    That’s the good thing about being a General, you can get impossible things done. Especially when you’re a General with a pedigree like Creighton Abrams. Just goes to show you that Royalty still exists in America’s classless society. You’d like another example? Try George Patton, Jr. Or a more well known one, Big John McCain. Ah, and lets not forget General Douglas “I shall return” MacArthur.

    I’m worried about Nina. She looks a little drawn.

    On the other hand, she also looks like Lulu: http://tinyurl.com/an5f2b

    Awwww to Dypak…..the common denominator….All are service academy graduates, West Point and the Naval Academy and that sir is from where the pedigree comes.

    Aren’t any of you folks who are tired of this story line interested in the purpose of the Museum?

    At least the current writer isn’t trying to sell his books like some cartoonists have done on GoComics.

    Some of you folks need to practice what you preach and if you don’t like the current content of a current comic strip, don’t post a comment to it.

    The general who was known as “Creighton Williams Abrams, Jr.” was in my chain of command when I was in the US Army and in South Vietnam. He replaced General William Westmoreland as the head of MACV in June 1967.

    I disagree, Joe. I like to see all the different opinions. I don’t like incivility and pointless repetition of a point, but I think reviewing the work is valid use of the site.

    the purpose of the museum is a good one it , but did we have to drag out the ill fitting uniform line rather than learn more about the museum

    While this story line continues, just go to the Museum website and read what’s going on there after you have looked at the strip for the current day if you do not wish to comment and only want to complain.
